Fence installation business plans are premised on the fact that your market has enough demand for fencing services that you can run a profitable business over the long-term. A business plan for a fencing installer should first look at the market targets: residential or commercial? If your bread and butter is fencing projects for private consumers, then it is important to know how many homes there are within a reasonable driving distance, their average value, and (if possible) the average consumer spending on repair and upgrade projects to single family homes (yes, the Census Bureau keeps data of this nature!). You might also be interested to know how many multifamily unit operators there are, as landlords are among the most common fence installation clients out there. But if you target non-residential clients, you might want to research and show:
• The presence of large commercial players in the market
• The number of upcoming government contracts
• The prevalence of competitors and their shares
• The threats to your business over the next 3-5 years
• The costs you'll face in marketing to these targets
The business plan for a fence installation company should have a complete pro forma financial model that gives the intended use of funds up front, as well as the financial highlights you envision in the near-term (revenue, net profit percentage, etc.). Show the intended sales, your staffing and profit and loss tables, the cash flow and balance sheet, and the break-even point to give financial backers a sense of your timeline for profitability. Also talk about your marketing plans, the team you have at the helm of the company, and the exact service suite you will deliver for the local market. From there, discussing the market need and showing your projected performance will result in a full business plan.
